Architectural practice Woods Bagot and engineering consultancy Buro Happold have announced ‘Zero Emissions Design’ (ZERO-E) – a new model for large-scale sustainable development that significantly advances the construction industry’s contribution to realizing a zero carbon economy.

ZERO-E goes beyond reducing the negative impacts of new growth, to create buildings that contribute to the healing of compromised human and ecological systems:

• Produce zero emissions
• Create more energy than they require on an annual basis
• Process their own waste and release only beneficial output
• Releases cleaner air than it takes in
• Heal compromised sites and ecosystem
• Restore natural habitat
• Reconnect humans and nature
• Increase occupant health
• Build financial value with ecological value
• Exhibit material integrity
• Delight and beautify its surroundings
• Supply 100% of its water needs using collection and closed loops

Pictured is the ZERO-E pilot project "Zero-Hero" planned for a location in China.
